CcciI'S IuStitIItiouSp Praised.

IIr. VIM. Lee, secretary OF The State
Board Of Lunacy, who is now engaged in
making his semi annual visit to tue y Inns
houses and ails of the various counties
came to Elktou gu Thursday In company
| with DR.. j. ii. lamar secretary of the To-
cal Board of Health he visited aud inspect
ed the aim m>huuse and new insane asylum
building near Cherry Hill. The finishing
touches are being put upon the new asylum
to which the Cecil county patients will be
removed from the state asylum about July
lst. DR.. Lees visitof inspection there
fore very timely. The WING reporter inter
viewed DIR. Lee on his return. The doctor
spoke III the highest terms of praise of Cecil
county IS action in having an insane asylum
erected. He stated that lie found the asy-
lum complete in all its details and Il credit
to the county. 1t is stu itcd on high
ground and in Il healthy locality 1t is
modelled and constructed after the latest
improved system. Everything has been
done looking to the comfort and benefit of
the insane. The building has three stories
with wide passages on each. T-.ere are
separate rooms for 81 PATIENTS. As all of
these will not be required by the county
patients, DIR. Lee recommends that patients
from other counties should be taken The
money received in this way would aid in
supporting the institution. There are sep
arate yards with high board fences for the
patients of each sex to exercise in.
DIR. Lee also inspected the almshouse
which was taken possession of on the l4th
inst. by Mr., John Everett, the new over
seer. He reports it clean and in good re-
pair. There were no cases under restraint.
All the inmates appeared well cared for.
After returning from the almshouse Drs.
Lee and lamar, accompanied by DIR. How
ard Bratton ana THE WHIG reporter visit
ed the Jail. DIR. Lee thought the Jail clean
and in good repair with the few inmates
well cared for. He found there James An
,irews and Chas. Riley two unfortunate
victims OF erotomana. They are kept in
the Jail because it is found impossible to
keep them elsewhere and dangerous to
society to have them at large. They have
both been confined in Spring Grove asylum
and escaped. The visitors were shown two
growing vegetable plots planted and cared
for by Andrews and Riley. That kept by
Andrews is on the north side of the build
ing and contains only corn and lettuce. The
one on the opposite side kept by Riley con-
tans probably over a dozen different varie-
ties of vegetables in an advanced Sta ge of
cultivation. Riley gathered nice bunch
of radishes and presented them to one of the
physicians as he passed ont of the door.
DR.. Lee was greatly pleased with the
mode of construction OF the !. Ill. The apart
nents of the prisoners We're high. In som ;
counties they appeared to be beneath those
of the keeper He wished he could say as
much for all the counties As he said for this.

Canon Wilberforce on Prohibition

NEW YORK, June ia large au-
dieuce gathered in Chickering Hall this
! afternoon to greet Canon Wilberforce, of
England, who was announced to speak
| under the auspices of the National Tenn
| perance Society. Rev. DR.. 7. Dewitt
Talmage presided. In introducing the
| speaker, DR.. Talmage said that the au-
dien,e were glad to welcome the Canon,
not because he was the son of Bishop
| Wilberforce, nor because he was the
grandson of William Wilberforce, the
great English emancipation, but because
he was good and as strong as either.
The Canon spoke energetically ald IA
pidly for an hour, and awoke great en-
thusaSu. Among the things he said
were q: "Tbe nobleSt of enthuSiasms is
the love of the Lord. and the basest the
passion for drink. The only thing that
Christianity wants just now is Chris

controls England. There is an aristo-
cracy in this country, but it is an aris-
tocracy of intellectual power, or charac-
ter. of beauty and of grace. In England
we put our big brewers in the House of
